Put 00:00 instead of 00:05 as the first timestamp in the description, RUclips will then automatically create chapters with all the timestamps provided.
At 11:00 the circuit has 4 N channel FETS, won't that just short the supply whenever there is a positive voltage at X1 or X2? The upper ones should be P channel, no?
Its welding wire I got from a hardware store here in Germany. Solder points tend to crack. I guess copper wire would be a better solution, but sometimes I simply take what I have ;-)
When I am using an integrated H-bridge such as an l298n, then can I directly connect the tiny servo's motor outputs to the input pins of the H-bridge without using comparators?
Amazing great video. Thanks for making it, I enjoyed and learned much good things. Do you project kit ready to assemble for practice???? Let me know. Thanks again.
Thanks! I won't provide kits of the servo electronics. The circuit layout is anything else but perfect, thus only for educational purpose.

hello.I have a couple of questions if you don't mind :D that is an integrated circuit or a microcontroller?I need a servo for an RC car for turning left or right and I have no ideea how to connect the servo to the receiver (4 channels).The transmitter haves obviously 4 signal outputs with basically push-to-ON switches.Can I use on one channel insted of a switch a pottentiometer like the one you used on the video and directly connect the signal orange cable of the servo to one afferent channel output of the receiver?I need this for my bachelor degree.if you have any indication that would be greeat and I would be very thankfull.
Liv Manole I have not idea what you are talking about. Have a look at the project page: www.homofaciens.de/technics-base-circuits-servos_en_navion.htm: I have no microcontroller used in this video as you can see in the schematics. Maybe that helps to solve your problem..
Thank you for the answer. I have built a big paddleboat model whith a 12V 80W motor.A PWM unit controls the speed whith a potentiometer. The servo turns 90degrees but the potentiometer turns 270 so I cant fix them together so I have done some kind of mecanikel gear.Would have been better al electronic but I think it have to stay this way
Chris De Berg The really simple way is buying a RC motor controller ;) Using an Arduino is simple if you are skilled in using microcontrollers. Analog circuits are tricky to implement.

Hello, i it possible to modify servo in a such way, so that value from the potentiometer is read by the arduino as well? So that micro controller can detect situations where servo is commanded to assume position but it did not (perhaps some mechanical obstruction)
+Davorin Ruševljan Yes, you can read the servo position through the wiper and an analog input of the Arduino, assuming you know how to do the coding. Don't forget to limit the input voltage of the analog input (in case your servo operates with more than 5V).
Thanks! ...I'm trying to get smarter with each video I am recording. In the time before this one I never had soldered a window comparator circuit... I'm still learning.
@@HomoFaciens Dear Sir some thing like in this link ruclips.net/video/gK14SaaYMoc/видео.html using The kind of server used in your video , if cannot what could be the reason :ruclips.net/video/yQMcr3PNxV8/видео.html Thank you very much for the response.
You can use hobby RC servos for a pan/tilt mechanism and so control a laser beam along a plane, but don't expect to get useful results. It will be good for a demo only.
i order a bunch of L293D ic chip, 10k Pots (& digital pot "mcp41010" just incase i can shirkify the setup). Will all this be enough to put together a home made servo ? i also have some dc motors as well as 3D printed gearbox. just in-case i got some 555timers and Op-Amp.
+Frank Lopez The schematics are available at: www.homofaciens.de/technics-base-circuits-servos_en_navion.htm The maximum current of the DC motors must stay below 600mA when using L293D H bridges. Consider that the quality of the circuits in this video is clearly lower than that of commercially available servos. It's for demonstrating how thing work.
Dear Sir, Thanks for your feedback. Can you please also suggest that how can I have a soft start and soft stop speed of the motor in the beginning and at the end position respectively of the servo motor? Higher capacitor in H-Bridge may some how help? I guess not to a big extent or?
Inserting a capacitor in the H bridge won't succeed. I will soon (probably in some weeks) publish a video about microcontrollers, demonstrating how to build digital servos. I guess something like that would be the best solution to your problem. ...sorry for my late response, but I did not notice your question until now...
HomoFaciens Dear Sir, Thanks for your reply. I am waiting for your video about microcontrollers. Thanking for sharing your knowledge, a great effort from your side.
Very good job, i´m chemistry but like robotic´s system i go testing your circuit with test. You can create an video about theory of control, the basic introduction and basic math???.
I have made something using an Arduino: ruclips.net/video/PQ1FBcQT0AI/видео.html More video will follow, but currently they are not on top of my list of things to do next...
Half the arrows of your FET's at the 11 minute mark are pointing in the wrong direction (Half should be n-channel and half p-channel). However at the 15 and 28.50 minute mark you can see the correct schematic with the correct FET's. Either way it is a good explanation and awesome video. T.U.
Dear Sir, I learned a lot from your video. Thanks for your enormous effort. I have one question. Can H-Bridge be build using combination of NPN and PNP transistors instead of IRF9Z34N and IRLZ24N?
You're welcome! Yes, you can also compose an H-Brige of NPN and PNP transistors as demonstrated in my video about that circuits: Working priciple of H bridges and written on my project page: www.homofaciens.de/technics-base-circuits-h-bridge_en_navion.htm Bipolar transistors are more tricky to handle, since the base current has to be considered, which is very high for high power types. This type of H-Brige can't be driven directly by a low power op-amp as used in the video. You have to insert an additional amplifying stage between the op-amp and the power H-bridge.

What IC number? A time code would be nice.
There mistake picture on 15:16 D6 and D7 should put DOT there so connect to motor, and also D8 and D9. (is this correct?)
D6 to D9 are flyback diodes. I can't see where there is a mistake in the schematic.
yes it is, should it connected to motor? because from schematic it just 2 diode from gnd to +.
They are usually connected close to the MOSFETs, because these are the devices to get protected by the freewheeling diodes.

The kind of server used in your video , if cannot what could be the reason :ruclips.net/video/yQMcr3PNxV8/видео.html
Thank you very much for the response.
You can use hobby RC servos for a pan/tilt mechanism and so control a laser beam along a plane, but don't expect to get useful results. It will be good for a demo only.
hi, @ 5:11 what sort of ic is that ? also, can i use that type of setup for a home made servo ?
i order a bunch of L293D ic chip, 10k Pots (& digital pot "mcp41010" just incase i can shirkify the setup).
Will all this be enough to put together a home made servo ?
i also have some dc motors as well as 3D printed gearbox.
just in-case i got some 555timers and Op-Amp.
+Frank Lopez It's an op-amp type LM324N. You can get the schematics on my project page: www.homofaciens.de/technics-base-circuits-servos_en_navion.htm
+Frank Lopez The schematics are available at: www.homofaciens.de/technics-base-circuits-servos_en_navion.htm
The maximum current of the DC motors must stay below 600mA when using L293D H bridges. Consider that the quality of the circuits in this video is clearly lower than that of commercially available servos. It's for demonstrating how thing work.
Dear Sir, Thanks for your feedback. Can you please also suggest that how can I have a soft start and soft stop speed of the motor in the beginning and at the end position respectively of the servo motor? Higher capacitor in H-Bridge may some how help? I guess not to a big extent or?
Inserting a capacitor in the H bridge won't succeed. I will soon (probably in some weeks) publish a video about microcontrollers, demonstrating how to build digital servos. I guess something like that would be the best solution to your problem.
...sorry for my late response, but I did not notice your question until now...
HomoFaciens Dear Sir, Thanks for your reply. I am waiting for your video about microcontrollers. Thanking for sharing your knowledge, a great effort from your side.
Very good job, i´m chemistry but like robotic´s system i go testing your circuit with test. You can create an video about theory of control, the basic introduction and basic math???.
I have made something using an Arduino:

More video will follow, but currently they are not on top of my list of things to do next...
Half the arrows of your FET's at the 11 minute mark are pointing in the wrong direction (Half should be n-channel and half p-channel). However at the 15 and 28.50 minute mark you can see the correct schematic with the correct FET's.
Either way it is a good explanation and awesome video. T.U.
...yes, my bad! Unfortunately videos can't be edited...
Thanks for your feedback.

Dear Sir,
I learned a lot from your video. Thanks for your enormous effort.
I have one question. Can H-Bridge be build using combination of NPN and PNP transistors instead of IRF9Z34N and IRLZ24N?
You're welcome!
Yes, you can also compose an H-Brige of NPN and PNP transistors as demonstrated in my video about that circuits:
Working priciple of H bridges
and written on my project page:
www.homofaciens.de/technics-base-circuits-h-bridge_en_navion.htm
Bipolar transistors are more tricky to handle, since the base current has to be considered, which is very high for high power types. This type of H-Brige can't be driven directly by a low power op-amp as used in the video. You have to insert an additional amplifying stage between the op-amp and the power H-bridge.
